New in FY2021

Our Operations Can Be Adversely Affected By Our Ability to Attract, Motivate, Develop, and Retain Our Employees, Labor Shortages and Work Stoppages, Turnover, Labor Cost Increases and Other Labor Relations Problems.

New in FY2021

We are committed to attracting, motivating, developing, and retaining our employees to ensure we remain an employer of choice.

New in FY2021

Despite our efforts, we have experienced, and could continue to experience, higher employee turnover and absenteeism, particularly in manufacturing and distribution locations, as a result of COVID-19 related concerns and other factors.

New in FY2021

A number of factors may adversely affect the labor force available or increase labor costs, including high employment levels, related competition, and federal unemployment subsidies, such as unemployment benefits offered in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

New in FY2021

These concerns have decreased the pool of available qualified talent for certain functions.

New in FY2021

Our Marshalltown, Iowa-based union ratified a five-year labor agreement on November 1, 2021; however, the results of future negotiations with unions are uncertain.

New in FY2021

If we are unsuccessful in meeting these challenges, our results of operations could be materially impacted.

New in FY2021

The effects of climate change, such as extreme weather conditions and events and water scarcity, may exacerbate fluctuations in typical weather patterns, creating financial risks to our business.

New in FY2021

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased global supply chain constraints and disruption to the operations of certain of our suppliers and we cannot predict the duration or severity of current supply-chain issues, including increased input material costs and component shortages, delivery disruptions and delays, and inflation.

New in FY2021

Additionally, the effects of climate change, including extreme weather events, long-term changes in temperature levels, water availability, increased cost for decarbonizing process heating, supply costs impacted by increasing energy costs, or energy costs impacted by carbon prices or offsets may exacerbate supply chain constraints and disruption.

New in FY2021

Resulting supply chain constraints have required, and may continue to require, in certain instances, alternative delivery arrangements and increased costs and could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

New in FY2021

These LRPs, implemented under global, national, and sub-national climate objectives or policies, can include changes in environmental and energy efficiency standards and tend to target the global warming potential of refrigerants and hydrofluorocarbons, equipment energy efficiency, and combustion of fossil fuels as a heating source.

New in FY2021

Many of our products consume energy and use refrigerants and hydroflurocarbons.

New in FY2021

LRPs that seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may require us to make increased capital expenditures to develop or market new products to meet new LRPs.

New in FY2021

Further, our customers and the markets we serve may impose emissions or other environmental standards through LRPs or consumer preferences that may

New in FY2021

require additional time, capital investment, or technological advancement.

New in FY2021

There continues to be a lack of consistent climate legislation and regulations, which creates economic and regulatory uncertainty.

New in FY2021

Such regulatory uncertainty could adversely impact the demand for energy efficient buildings and could increase costs of compliance.

New in FY2021

of operations.

New in FY2021

In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to create supply chain disruptions and higher employee absenteeism in our factories and distribution locations.

New in FY2021

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, health concern risks remain.

New in FY2021

In 2021, various forms of a vaccine for COVID-19 were approved and began to be distributed.

New in FY2021

However, the large scale and challenging logistics of distributing the vaccines, as well as uncertainty over the efficacy of the vaccines against new variants of the virus, may impact the economy as well as our operations in the future.

New in FY2021

While we are experiencing positive results despite the COVID-19 pandemic, there remains uncertainty regarding how COVID-19 will impact our results in the future.

New in FY2021

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may continue for a significant period of time and may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided.

New in FY2021

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments that we are not able to predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business, and individuals’ actions in response to the pandemic; our ability to maintain sufficient qualified personnel due to employee illness, quarantine, willingness to return to work, vaccine and/or testing mandates, face-coverings and other safety requirements, general scarcity of employees, or travel and other restrictions; current global supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; and the impact on economic activity, including financial market instability.

New in FY2021

Our international sales and operations are also sensitive to

Dropped from FY2020

and future competitors.

Dropped from FY2020

If we cannot successfully implement such distribution and restructuring strategies or other cost savings plans, we may not achieve our expected cost savings in the time anticipated, or at all.

Dropped from FY2020

In such case, our results of operations and profitability may be negatively impacted, making us less competitive and potentially causing us to lose market share.

Dropped from FY2020

Because a Significant Percentage of Our Workforce is Unionized in Certain Manufacturing Facilities, We Face Risks of Work Stoppages and Other Labor Relations Problems.

Dropped from FY2020

The results of future negotiations with these unions and the effects of any production interruptions or labor stoppages could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Dropped from FY2020

Specifically, changes in environmental and energy efficiency standards and regulations related to global climate change are being implemented to curtail the use of hydrofluorocarbons which are used in refrigerants that are essential to many of our products.

Dropped from FY2020

For example, in 2016, the Montreal Protocol was amended to phase down the use of hydrofluorocarbons, which may particularly have a significant impact on the types of products that we are allowed to develop and sell.

Dropped from FY2020

Future legislation or regulations relating to environmental policies, product certification, product liability, taxes, amount and availability of tax incentives and other matters, may impact the results of each of our operating segments and our consolidated results.

Dropped from FY2020

In some cases, we may incur liability claims for the installation and service of our products.

Dropped from FY2020

damages.

Dropped from FY2020

In addition, we are subject to extensive and changing federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect the environment.

Dropped from FY2020

Compliance with environmental laws increases our costs of doing business.

Dropped from FY2020

For example, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, various national, state, and local governments where we, our suppliers, and our customers operate issued decrees prohibiting certain businesses from continuing to operate and certain classes of workers from reporting to work.

Dropped from FY2020

Those decrees resulted in supply chain disruption and higher absenteeism in our factories.

Dropped from FY2020

Additionally, certain of our manufacturing facilities experienced short-term suspensions of operations for COVID-19 employee health concerns.

Dropped from FY2020

We implemented several cost reduction actions in the second quarter of 2020, including employee terminations, temporary facility closures and cancellations of certain sales and marketing activities, and revised our financial outlook downward to account for COVID-19’s expected economic impact on our Company and future uncertainty.

Dropped from FY2020

By the end of 2020, numerous countries including, the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, European Union, and Mexico had approved various forms of a vaccine for COVID-19 and began distributing them to their citizens in hope of slowing the spread of COVID-19.

Dropped from FY2020

The timing of any positive impact from the vaccines is uncertain.

Dropped from FY2020

Additionally, it is unknown if current vaccines will work on the new strains of the coronavirus which have been reported in numerous countries, including the United Kingdom and United States.

Dropped from FY2020

It also remains unclear how various national, state, and local governments will react if the distribution of vaccines is slower than expected.

Dropped from FY2020

If the COVID-19 pandemic worsens or the pandemic continues longer than presently expected, COVID 19 would continue to impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Dropped from FY2020

value and would reduce our assets and stockholders’ equity and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

*Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and the Resulting Changes to our 2020 Financial Performance*

Dropped from FY2020

In 2020, the spread of COVID-19 and the developments surrounding the global pandemic disrupted our business operations and affected our results of operations.

Dropped from FY2020

For example, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, various national, state, and local governments where we, our suppliers, and our customers operate issued decrees prohibiting certain businesses from continuing to operate and certain classes of workers from reporting to work.

Dropped from FY2020

Those decrees resulted in supply chain disruption, higher absenteeism in our factories, and negatively impacted net sales for our Commercial and Refrigeration segments.

Dropped from FY2020

Additionally, certain of our manufacturing facilities experienced short-term suspensions of operations for COVID-19 employee health concerns.

Dropped from FY2020

We implemented several cost reduction actions in the second quarter of 2020, including employee terminations, temporary facility closures and cancellations of certain sales and marketing activities, and revised our financial outlook downward to account for COVID-19’s expected economic impact on our Company and future uncertainty.

Dropped from FY2020

- Net sales decreased $173 million, or 5%, to $3,634 million in 2020 from $3,807 million in 2019.

Dropped from FY2020

- Operating income in 2020 was $479 million compared to $657 million in 2019, which included $179 million net gain from insurance recoveries.

Dropped from FY2020

- Net income in 2020 decreased to $356 million from $409 million in 2019.

Dropped from FY2020

The

Dropped from FY2020

increase was primarily due to a decrease in working capital.

Dropped from FY2020

Results for the year were mixed and adversely impacted by the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dropped from FY2020

Sales in our Refrigeration segment decreased 17% and segment profit decreased $29 million compared to 2019 primarily due to lower sales volume and the loss of sales volume from our divested Kysor Warren business.

Dropped from FY2020

The increase is due to improved operating performance at the joint ventures.

Dropped from FY2020

Net sales decreased 2.0% in 2019 compared to 2018, driven by a 5% decline related to the divestitures of our Australia, Asia, South America, and Kysor Warren businesses, partially offset by 1% volume growth and 2% from favorable price and mix combined.

Dropped from FY2020

These decreases were offset by increases of 100 bps from favorable price and mix, 50 bps from sourcing and engineering-led cost reductions, and 60 bps from our divested Australia, Asia, South America, and Kysor Warren businesses which collectively had lower margins.

Dropped from FY2020

SG&A expenses decreased by $22 million in 2019 compared to 2018.

Dropped from FY2020

SG&A decreased primarily due to the sale of our divested Australia, Asia, South America, and Kysor Warren businesses.

The realized gains on settled futures contracts in 2018 were attributable to changes in commodity prices relative to our settled futures contract prices, as commodity prices have increased in 2018 relative to 2017.

Dropped from FY2020

Restructuring charges were $10.3 million in 2019 compared to $3.0 million in 2018.

Dropped from FY2020
